Pyinstaller

Pyinstaller allows you to turn Python scripts into executables that can be run even without Python installed.
You can even turn them into Windows executables and macOS apps.

Steps for using Pyinstaller

1. pip3 install pyinstaller as sudo/root
2. pyinstaller (optional -F flag for one file instead of a folder) [file.py]
3. Done.

Cython

Pyinstaller currently doesn't work with Python3.6, so we must resort to using Cython, which creates a C source file that gcc compiles. Not sure if this works with macOS, but it definitely doesn't work on Windows, unless you can get gcc working.

Steps for using Cython

1. pip3 install cython as sudo/root
2. cp Your_Python.py Your_Python.pyx
3. cython Your_Python.pyx --embed
4. gcc -Os -I /usr/include/python3.6m -o Your_Python Your_Python.c -lpython3.6m -lpthread -lm -lutil -ldl
5. Done?
